The European Commission today publishes a new Communication on "Research and Innovation as sources of renewed growth". It is underpinned by the 2014 State of the Innovation Union report that details the steps taken since 2010 to implement the Innovation Union flagship initiative of the Europe 2020 growth strategy.

The following table summarises progress in the delivery of the actions that were put in place to fulfil the Innovation Union commitments, as well as examples of how these actions are being implemented. More details can be found in the report itself.
